Write two contrasting pieces (300–450 words each) about a music venue: the first before the
audience has arrived, and the second during the performance. In your writing, focus on the sound,
colour and atmosphere in the music venue.

Setting: The story takes place in a popular music venue in downtown Chicago, in the present day. Known for its eclectic lineup of artists and vibrant atmosphere, it's a place that thrums with life and music.

Main Character: Mark, a 35-year-old sound engineer who's been in the music industry for a decade. He's passionate about his work and finds solace in the organized chaos of the venue. He's meticulous, observant, and deeply in tune with the sounds and rhythms that fill the venue.

Theme: The story revolves around the transformation of the venue, from its quiet, anticipatory state before the audience arrives, to its lively, electric atmosphere during the performance.

Tone: The tone should transition smoothly from calm and introspective to energetic and vibrant, mirroring the change in the venue's atmosphere.

Pacing: The story should start slow, matching the quiet of the venue before the audience arrives. As the performance begins and the audience's energy fills the space, the pacing should pick up, reflecting the venue's pulsating energy.

Optional: Each piece should be about 300-450 words, focusing on the contrast between the venue's atmosphere before and during the performance.
